Pakistan Weather Portal 
Pakistan has seen good winter rains every year but not karachi and its province. Will karachi ever get frequent meaningful monsoon rains like Lahore,islamabad and Dhaka,calcutta etc?
We have never seen heavy rains in winter in karachi, sindh like other parts of country. If karachi get 2mm rains then quetta,gilgit,lahore and islamabad and peshawar get atleast 50mm to 200mm rains which is Injustice with karachi and sindh. Almost daily in whole winter giglit and fata and kashmir gets heavy rains to snow.
Because of this Arabian sea karachi weather is hot and dry whole year. Arabian Sea cannot give Precipitation to karachi.Cities Near bay of bengal and other oceans and seas have Atleast two to five months rainy period. There is NO name of precipitation over Arabian sea till 8 to 9 months and just two to three months there is some precipitation which runs over Indian provinces. On the other hand western disturbance also cannot creates rains over karachi. Even cities like islamabad and peshawar which has not any sea but has rains 6 months from western disturbance and atleast 3 months during monsoon.
